Laundry and More Toad Cleaning

It's been another chilly day in Florida. It actually got cool enough this evening for me to put on a sweatshirt when we went for our walk. It's 61 degrees at 9 PM! That's probably as cold as it's been the whole time we've been here.

I realized this morning that I'd best get busy doing laundry or we would soon be out of undies. I washed four loads of laundry which are now hanging all over Auntie Violet getting dry. There were still a couple of trousers in the bottom of the hamper that were left yet from my trip to Indiana a couple of weeks ago.

We tackled the rest of Toad this afternoon. Just emptying everything out of the back took a while. In addition to chairs, he carries the auxiliary brake, a couple of baseball bats (from our trip to Louisville), cartons of diet Pepsi, shopping bags, suitcases, a five gallon bucket, rubber ladder bumpers, my old computer, a tow rope, jumper cables, first aid kit, and assorted jackets.

I vacuumed out the back compartment, cleaned the sides with Armor All and washed the inside of all the vehicle windows. Forry used some upholstery cleaner on the seats. Tomorrow we still need to put up the back seats and clean out and vacuum the floor in front of them. Right now there is a tangle of bungee cords, hook-ups for the hitch and tools all tangled together along with lots of leaves and other assorted debris. We'll fold up all of the chairs and put them in their carrying bags ready to load up with the trike.

Needless to say, we are both tired tonight. But there's a really good Mariners game on TV (they're ahead of Detroit 6-4) as well as the results of last night's Dancing With the Stars and The Biggest Loser. It's a good thing we're FT RVers -- no one says we have to get up early tomorrow!

  1. You have convicted me to clean out our little Focus today. Besides the usual junk, garbage, and who knows what, we have lots of cat hair to contend with from the kitties roaming free in the car when we're moving. When we finish that, we'll start on BigTruk! Thanks for the inspiration!
